The Last First Day of Sonshine

Today featured, as the title says, the start of our last week of Sonshine Camp. At this point, the counselors have easily established their set routines and the smoothness of the opening day schedule and introduction to Camp activities showed throughout the day. Even as everything is routine at this point, the faces of campers nervously entering the cabin and then lighting up as they meet new friends never gets old.

Today also featured the opening of Grandparent-Grandchild Camp. Eleven grandchildren and their grandparents came together to join for half a week of camp together. They had mixers, came to song period and enjoyed a time travel themed campfire.

John 3:24 The one who keeps God's commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

Ben gave a devotion that featured him giving Starbursts, first to Jim who had to work for them and then Brett who got them right away and then didn't bother to listen to what Ben asked of him. The illustration pointed to how we honor God by living for him and show our thanks for how much he loves us by doing what he asks, not just to get a reward.
